Minister of State Hubert Aiwanger has announced intentions for a geothermal master plan, to develop the technology’s potential, demonstrate support for the expansion of district heating networks and coordinate its expansion within Bavaria.
The announcement took place in the context of the 7th annual Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern, taking place in Munich.
“Geothermal energy has to get out of the slumber,” stated Minister Aiwanger. “That’s where you have me by your side,” he explained, thanking the operators of geothermal plants for their commitment. “You as pioneers are an indispensable part of the energy transition. With geothermal energy, we have a key to the heat change in our hands, which we just have to turn around.”
